START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
WOE TO HIM / HABAKKUK 2:6-20
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Habakkuk%202%3A16&version=NIVThese verses represent a “taunt,” or statement of ridicule, that will be used one day by Babylon’s enemies. So certain is the doom of Babylon that Habakkuk is assured that future victims will be able to say these same words. This two-part taunt breaks down further into a series of five woes (pronouncements of sorrow or consequences for ungodly actions) describing the judgment that would come on all those whose “desires are not upright” (Habakkuk 2:4). Such people will be punished because of their aggression (Habakkuk 2:6-8), injustice (Habakkuk 2:9-11), violence and crime (Habakkuk 2:12-14), immorality (Habakkuk 2:15-17) and idolatry (Habakkuk 2:18-20). All the stolen goods and forced labor that Babylon used to build its empire will finally “cry out” against it (Habakkuk 2:11-12). The Lord will shame Babylon and do to that nation what it did to others (Habakkuk 2:16). The future destruction of this once proud and mighty nation will bring even greater glory and honor to God, whose greater glory and honor to God, whose great power will become known throughout the world (Habakkuk 2:15).
